The '''First Covenant Guards''' were formed as the military force for the Covenant Worlds, a microstate that formed after the rise of Fortress Republic. The First Covenant Guards were organized from planetary militia and mercenary units by [[Thaddeus Marik (32nd c.)|Thaddeus Marik]] himself. They fought the [[2nd Wolf Assault (Clan Wolf)|Second Wolf Assault Cluster]] on [[New Olympia]] in [[3139]]. They lost this encounter and Thaddeus Marik was killed in that action.<ref name=fm3145p107/>

The First participated in the Covenant Worlds' invasion of the [[Wolf Empire]] in [[3151]].  The first battalion of the guard struck [[Callison]] and suffered minimal casualties due to unexpectedly linking up with a resistance movement led by [[Ariana Zou]].<ref name=EAp43>''Empire Alone'', p. 43</ref>. The second battalion's invasion of [[Dubhe]] was considerably costlier, with almost a company lost to unexpected mass resistance from local [[IndustrialMech]] pilots, motivated to fight despite being hopelessly outmatched due to the Wolves having taken their families hostage.<ref name=EAp51>''Empire Alone'', p. 51</ref>. Elements of the Guards who struck [[Alhena]] on the other hand faced no resistance, instead finding themselves organizing humanitarian relief due to [[Alaric Ward]] having drafted the JumpShips required to keep the supplied for his push on Terra, causing planet wide shortages of food and water.<ref name=EAp52>''Empire Alone'', p.52</ref>
